A rectangular countertop is 3 feet wide and 5 feet long. What is its area?

Question

​
square feet

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangular countertop, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]

For a countertop that is 5 feet long and 3 feet wide, the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Area} = 5 , \text{feet} \times 3 , \text{feet} = 15 , \text{square feet} \]

Thus, the area of the countertop is \(15\) square feet.
